Monk Bodhi Dharma Iii

July 13, 2012

Once dorsum at domicile it's ever wonderful first, to settle inwards at domicile (with the cat!) as well as second, to run into the people as well as places nosotros love. In the latter example nosotros began past times booking dinner at Monk Bodhi Dharma amongst the Moody Noodles. MBD's developed a reputation for first-class coffee, tea, as well as brunch as well as for almost a twelvemonth at in i lawsuit they've also been offering dinner on Fri nights. The card varies from calendar week to calendar week but yous tin await it to last almost alone vegan as well as gluten-free, amongst many raw options.

Michael arrived early on as well as passed the fourth dimension amongst a blackberry smoothie based on cashew milk ($9.50).

Once I'd settled inwards nosotros shared the Sweet Republic of Chile Love ($12), a crunchy chile filled amongst a macadamia as well as sundried love apple tree cream as well as topped amongst chile oil, augmented amongst fresh mango as well as a lovely pickley cucumber salad.

I was a piffling wary of a mid-winter raw main, but the cannelloni ($22) was surprisingly hearty. The zucchini 'pasta' didn't produce much for me, but the minced-nut love apple tree sauce as well as broccoli-'cheddar' filling were impressive.

The Mexican enchilada plate ($24) was to a greater extent than conventional though no less tasty. The corn tortillas were stuffed amongst all mode of vegetables as well as topped amongst thick dollops of guacamole; I ate to a greater extent than than my part of the accompanying salsa.

Monk Bodhi Dharma had a spectacular finale inwards shop for us - field the savoury dishes were good, the desserts were the materials of fine dining. The raw white chocolate cheesecake ($14.50) was delicately flavoured, ready off nicely past times a smear of tangy raspberry as well as crest of dehydrated apple. It was at its best amongst only a piffling of the caramel sauce.

Monk's raw 'Snickers' ($16.50) is much bolder, as well as maybe best suited for sharing betwixt two. The fudgy peanut nougat base, salted caramel as well as raw chocolate are taken correct over the top amongst metallic element decorations as well as a shot drinking glass of to a greater extent than chocolate to pour over. It's an incredible mistaken but chop-chop becomes heavy as well as rich, as well as the nut-based raw vanilla cream offers no respite.

Monk Bodhi Dharma's Fri nighttime card is somewhat expensive as well as really rich, as well as it feels a piffling unfortunate to last eating such exceptional nutrient inwards such cramped conditions. What they're whipping upwards amongst is exciting as well as quite unique inwards Melbourne; I'll facial expression frontwards to trying to a greater extent than or less other permutation inwards a few months.
